WWII veteran speaks to Delaware Township school on Veterans Day

World War II veteran Archie Fagan spoke with eighth-graders at Delaware Township School today, Nov. 12, and was honored to find a war timeline as well as artifacts in a new display case in the lobby at the school. Veterans Day is marked today in many areas.

Fagan is well known to Hunterdon County residents because of his work at ShopRite in Raritan Township, where he greets customers and tells them about promotions.

For many years area veterans have spoken with eighth-graders on this day. Fagan has been that veteran for several years, sharing his experiences and artifacts.

The display case was built by Hunterdon Central High School student Adam Zeloof of Delaware Township as an Eagle Scout project.

Other classes also marked the day. For instance, sixth-graders penned their thoughts and thanks for a wall display outside of the superintendent's office.
